"A taste of my own medicine is it? Very well. I hope you've prepared yourself well, Monk."
Gell continues forward to ledge at O-11 before both he and the darkness disappear into a singularity, exposing Jianyu if he really is in the darkness. The darkness explodes into being off to the side. If he can then see the duo, he sends a pair of skeletal hands at both. If not, he continues on to I4, sheathing himself in more magical energy while blanketing most at least the center side of his enemies side in Darkness.
Movement: 1st to O-11 ledge before teleport, then to I-4 after casting spell (if possible).
Bonus Action: Gell Casts Misty Step to teleport to K5.
If able to see from his new position:
Action: Gell Casts a TwinnedChill Touch at Sara and Morthos. [Sarah]To Hit: 21 For: 15 Necrotic Damage. (DC 10: Concentration Save) [Morthos]To Hit: 24 For: 5 Necrotic Damage.
(More as a reminder than to rob Sarah of her Ready or avoid the consequences of stepping up, but if she does, would it be at 'suddenly the Darkness, or at Jianyu after that stealth roll?)
Toren shoves his hands in his pockets and appears to be waiting for an opportunity, but in his pocket it's clear that he's fiddling with that cube. Testing the barrier reveals it has fallen.
Seeing the dark orb envelope her Sarah starts to panic but quickly comes up with a plan. She squeezes by her teammate and moves to D4 and fires two arrows into the darkness where her instincts are telling her the prey is. After the first shot she activates her zephyr strike ability. She then moves to C8.
As Sarah is consumed by the darkness she falls back behind her ally and fires past him into the darkness, then takes another shot with her arrow carried on the breeze. The first klinks off of Gell's armor, but the second cuts right past Morthos' ear and pierces cleanly into the Orc. Or it would, if not for his Shield of Arcane energy.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Ah, so you both were together. Interesting move. Unfortunately-"
Immediately after, the shadows creep closer to Morthos, eventually engulfing him. Whether just before or after this happens, Morthos will feel the arcane energy composing part of the darkness start to shift about, turning the air heavy and hard to breathe as 'something' starts clinging to his back. A few seconds later and some guttural chanting later appeared to come from everwhere in the darkness, a violent force abruptly tries to slam into him.
New Position:
Gell moves to F5 before casting spell. Afterwards, he uses his remaining movement to get D5, warhammer out.
Bonus Action: Hexblade's Curse Upon Morthos.
Action: Gell Casts Chaos Bolt at 2nd level upon Morthos if visible. To Hit: 22 For: 17 of Force Damage. Damage includes curse damage.
Savage Attack Damage: (Choosing one of the D8) 6.

New Total Damage: 47. Choose the original 4 to make it Force Damage.
(If wearing Admantine, the damage is 24. Though if that was clear to begin with, wish I could've changed the target to Sarah... unless She's wearing Adamantine too!)
(Hope I did not jump the gun too hard there. I'm assuming Morthos took the Ready.)

Tundra: (Round 2)
Morthos slips back and waits, for what? I don't know, but he fails to keep hidden. (discussed in PMs)
Gell tries to punish him, but the critical blow is dampened by Morthos powerful Adamantine armor.
Jianyu climbs onto the ice and sprints over the frozen pond on the Step of the Wind. He strikes against Sarah, hitting 17 for 8. He attempts a Stunning Strike (Con save DC 14, if hit), and strikes again, hitting 16 (adv. 14 If stunned) for 7 Bludgeoning, attempting again a stun her before he steps into the darkness and slips away.

Con save 12
"Well monk your strikes are not as powerful as you had thought." As she moves to A2 where she once again activates her zephyr strike ability. A strong wind come and helps her reach G2 where she takes aim at the monk and let's two arrows fly. "I found you monk now feel my wrath."
Sarah tries to capitalize on the advantage granted by her heritage, but with her target under the cover of darkness she doesn't have such luck. In the inky void Jianyu deflects the first arrow with his Bracers of Defence, but the second finds its mark. Jianyu reacts, trying to deflect the missile, reducing the damage by 13. He is unharmed, and returns the arrow, hitting 15 for 8. Sarah dodges her own arrow easily.
(If you also succeed on a DC 10 concentration check you can reach G-2 without using a spell slot. Otherwise you can reach A-4 or use the spell slot if you still wish, but the advantage won't have any effect on this attack.)

Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
(Nope I had advantage on both attacks so that makes them regular attacks. :)
(Indeed. It would've been the same for mines if I had blind been able to blind fire.)
Reaction: Gell Casts Shield, increasing AC to 25.
Both arrows sink into the darkness and clatter against 'something'. Yet, there are no grunts of pain, or sound of torn flesh; only a raspy chuckle.
